Simple BUT Not EasyReading charts and understanding the "Language" of the market is very simple but at times due to high involvement of our emotions we make it very hard.
Any market or chart that you see will be in a phase all you have to do is identify it on a higher time frame.
Lower Lows & Lowers Highs is a definition of a down trend.
Higher Highs & Higher Lows is a definition of a up trend.
If you can see the above both happening then market is ranging.
If you are having a short bias on a particular instrument always look for a shorting opportunities in a lower time frame after confirming the phase of the market in a higher time frame.
Always wait for a confirmed trend don't try and jump in too early.
Let market decide the direction, don't force your self.
Risk Management is very important, Plan your trade with a proper risk that you can manage.
Trading is a marathon, if you try to sprint you will fall down and injure yourself.
Slow & steady wins the game :)
Thanks
